Cobb county brewer here, anyone else?

[TE10984]

Hey guys. I just started All-grain brewing a few months ago. Been brewing for over a year. Do not have much experience, but looking for someone to brew with one weekend and get some knowledge. I am in woodstock town lake area. Thanks for the info on the local brew supplies I drive by it everyday and had no idea! Will stop there after work!

I'm a newbie myself so not sure how much knowledge I can share but I brew a couple Saturdays a month. I'm in Woodstock off Trickum & 92. Drop me a PM if you'd like to join us some time. Also check out the Woodstock Malt Monkeys on Facebook, homebrew club that meets once a month at Jump Kitchen. Their planning a holiday brew competition for January.

Hope y'all got some of the cinnamon rolled wake n bake from Terrapin. I really like this. Just enough sweetness, cinnamon and coffee to make my tastebuds dance.

I went over and toured the brewery a couple weeks ago and they had it on draft. Unfortunately I think my taste buds were a bit tapped out by the time I drank it as I didn't get much cinnamon. Still a good beer but just reminded me of regular WnB.

On another note, they had a cask of a Moo Hoo variant that was aged on bourbon, oak and cocoa nibs, they may have even said vanilla beans but my memory is fuzzy. One of the greatest beers I've had. Terrapin has said that next years reserve releases (predicting 4 of them) will be a chile beer, pumpkin beer and something barrel aged. I hope that one is the barrel aged beer they release.

I will be honest. I fvckin love terrapin. They do a really good job. I have been thee once and will go again soon. They had liquid bliss on tap last time I went and I had to sit and tailgate in the parking lot for an hour before I could leave. But this CRWNB is really good. Just the right enough sweetness to gut the bitter. A+ if I could get this all winter with LHBs Nitro I would be set. We should plan a trip to the brewery or another loCal brewery ie; red brick, red hare, burnt hickory. Right

Burnt Hickory's not that far from me and those guys are making magic over there. I'm definitely game for an HBTGA brewery meet up at any of the breweries.

I've been to Red Hare, Burnt Hickory, Terrapin, Sweetwater and Three Taverns so far, always open to check out another one.

I think I got some...

 

[mufflerbearing]

I only ended up with 3 thanks to friends and family. But I did not go to 2 stores that I found them at. Could not spend 60 bucks on 5 beers. I can brew 10 gallons for that. Won't be as good but who cares after 5-6 of them. I will say it again. They are glorious.

Yea i got that many so I can trade and give some as gifts but I'll keep a couple for myself haha

I had asked a small store by my house if they were getting any in and the owner made sure and then called me and asked how many I wanted. Told him 4 and then found 3 more on my lunch break before heading there after work to pick them up

 

[nab911]

I have been looking around for some and can't find it. Where did you guys find any? I am located down in atlanta but come up to kennesaw/acworth/marietta all of the time.

 

[FalconsBrew]

Someone need to open something on the westside. We got no homebrew love over here. Its a 45 minute drive to brewmasters whse, and thats the closest place to buy grain ingredients.

You can also go Just Brew it in fayetteville. Not that bad of a drive actually, great inventory and even nicer guys.

Co-sign on that, They are doing some really cool stuff up there and they are quickly getting a huge gathering. They have a tasting once a month for $10 and you get a glass with 4 tickets to get 4 oz pours. They also have special tastings every hour that doesn't use your 4 tickets. I try to go to as many as I can. The next one is this saturday from 12-5. Highly recommend you guys go if you can make it. They make some awesome high ABV beer. I'll be there hope to see you guys!

I live up in Gainesville, but I go to the homebrew store in Buford. It's a great store! The guy that owns it has been brewing a VERY long time. He has great advice, his prices are very reasonable, and he's more than willing to help any way he can.

 

[itsme_timd]

I got mine at Bullock's and Lucky's in Woodstock. Sprayberry and Bullock's in Marietta got it as well. I talked to one other shop that said there's still a possibility he'll get some next week, although I've heard from others that everything had shipped.

I guess I missed it all. Might try to find some places to check in alpharetta on my lunch break today but I am not very optimistic.

I didn't know there was one in Buford, thats around the area i'm moving too. I was going to go to Lilburn Home brew.

Yup. It's called Buford beer and wine supply and its located in the old town Buford area. Like I said, its a great store. The owner is retired and as he says, "the store gives me something to do other than watch Fox News." Great prices, great selection, and great service. I have one in Gainesville, but the owner was rude, he has RIDICULOUS prices, and I just overall didn't like it.

Thanks for the heads up. I have been to Venus Wine on Hamilton, he has a great selection of beer, mainly high ABV and Belgians if you're in to that kind of thing

Woot! Found some Cinnamon Rolled at Royal Liquor on Old Milton. A bit out of cobb but they did just get their shipment in so that means more is coming out.

 

[mufflerbearing]

Well the wife and I are down for BHB. Prob bring A few friends. See y'all there. KCCO.

 

[theonetrueruss]

FYI- Ernesto over at Dogwood Growlers will sell you a sack of base malt for a good price. I've picked up a couple from him already. He carries most of the Breiss malts a good supply of hops and some other items.

The draft list for tomorrow looks amazing.

+2 on Barrel and Barley in Woodstock. I have not been in the store yet but have shared some browsers from there with others. Zach is a good friend and fellow kayak fisherman so I keep on the store's progress on FB. They are expanding now into HB supplies.
